I just did want to tell you "in person" that I thoroughly enjoyed both the Back Kick and Wheel Kick books you sent me. Although some of it was review for me, I did retain several vital points from the books to help me with my training, especially the back kick, which is NOT one of my best techniques. The material was presented in such a manner that it was easily absorbed and motivated me to actively participate along with the book. Nakayama's "Dynamic Karate" is one of my most dog-earred karate books and yours remind me of it!! Well Done! I am looking forward to reading each one of the series as they come out!

Volume 6 Front Kick by Shawn Kovacich is a very well written book from beginning to end. The diagrams make it easy to follow and understand from beginners all the way to seasoned martial artists. This book breaks down each step into several technical points so that you can easily understand the kick fully and perform it correctly. Each technical point is clearly illustrated by pictures and illustrated foot positions so it's easy to understand by seeing the break down of each technical point of the kick. In closing I would like to say, "Well done Shawn this is one of the best martial art book I have ever read."

An amazing series of books! Well written, organzied and so full of information on kicking that the only better resource would be the author himself. I would highly recommend any book written by this author!

When I first picked up Shawn's book, I thought that this was going to be a typical book on the martial arts. Boy was I wrong! This book (Back Kick) is the most detailed book I have ever read, seen, or even heard about concerning kicking. I can't wait for the others I ordered to arrive!

I am reading your books for about an hour each night before I go to sleep. I'm learning a lot in them and I have been in martial arts for years. But our study, we don't do a lot of kicks because we are taught that it makes a person unbalanced and just one sweep can bring you down when you are in the middle of a kick. And since my Grand Master has taught me this, I have believed this and taught it to my students also. So I am seeing a lot of positive things about kicks that I haven't never been made aware of. I actually got outside today and did a few. I do the roundhouse and the basics but I tried a few of the others in the back of one of the books and I liked it.

I am in utter disbelief on how much detail is in these books. I never would have thought that a person could fill over 200 pages with relevant information on a single kick. These are the best books I have ever seen on kicking!

What a truly fantastic series of books. My kicking skills have been growing by leaps and bounds ever since I purchsed your books. Thanks!
